The pub about 5 minutes down the road from me.

[–]TheRedditPopeC-Ville & Tenn 7 points8 points ago

I love the pub down the road from me. What a great idea!

[–]M4ntr1d/r/Arkansas 4 points5 points ago

I like this idea. Wanna fly me out there?

[–]frickenEdmonton 5 points6 points ago

Triangulate a point equidistant to all who are interested in making the trek, which, according to my rudimentary calculations, falls somewhere in the vicinity of in St. Cloud Minnesota.

[–]Jaraxor/lincolnshire r/lancaster_uk 3 points4 points ago

I will gladly go on a HIMYM pilgrimage to St. Cloud.

[–]jtheir/washingtondc 2 points3 points ago

Don't forget the overseas mods, we would triangulate to somewhere in the atlantic most likely - I'm cool with it

[–]rrcjabRochester, MN 0 points1 point ago

I can verify these calculations.

[–]aenea 4 points5 points ago

At my house. Because I'm pretty busy with family issues most of the time, and I'm a very good cook who likes feeding people :-)

Realistically (assuming that not everyone's interested in making the trip to Southern Ontario), Las Vegas. Even though I have no desire to ever go there, it's a $99 flight from almost anywhere in North America, with dirt-cheap hotel rooms. There are also a lot of redditors who seem to be able to get very good deals on LV bookings, so it might end up being the cheapest for everyone. I don't know what flights from Europe/Asia/Australia would be like, but it seems to be one of the cheaper places to get to.

[–]tashibumr/Dirty530 3 points4 points ago

I checked flight prices for New Zealand to Las Vegas. It was ~$2000 @_@

[–]tashibumr/Dirty530 2 points3 points ago

That's a really good idea!

[–]BrooklynHipsterr/BROOKLYN 4 points5 points ago

I may be biased here, but... NY?

[–]thedevilsdictionary/r/LasVegas[!] 3 points4 points ago

Chicago? Kansas City? IDK that's the exact center of the US.

[–]BrooklynHipsterr/BROOKLYN 3 points4 points ago

I think KC is a good proposal. We can get some ribs!

[–]Black_Lace_and_ButtsSanta Cruz, CA 4 points5 points ago

Why not somewhere awesome that most of us have never been to? Do we have any representatives from the South Pacific who would want to host?

[–]letrollerr/hawkesbay, New Zealand 2 points3 points ago

New Zealand?

[–]Jaraxor/lincolnshire r/lancaster_uk 2 points3 points ago

Norway!

[–]aenea 4 points5 points ago

I'm going to be in Tasmania in 3 years to meet up with a few other redditors...it's not cheap, but I think that it's going to be well worth while.

[–]greatyellowsharkr/thousandoaks 2 points3 points ago

I'm still waiting to hear from /r/Maldives - the Indian Ocean might be the perfect spot.

[–]SmartSukar/SanAntonio ,Texas USA 4 points5 points ago

I want to meet somewhere overseas.

Either that, or the home of reddit; where the servers reside...its just more poetic that way.

[–]letrollerr/hawkesbay, New Zealand 2 points3 points ago

where exactly IS the home of reddit?

[–]SmartSukar/SanAntonio ,Texas USA 2 points3 points ago

From http://www.reddit.com/help/gold/

The mailing address is:

reddit c/o Wired

520 Third St

Third Floor

San Francisco, CA

[–]tunackr/SFV[S] 2 points3 points ago

How about Los Angeles?

[–]BlankVerse/r/California 1 point2 points ago

Virtual meetup in an IRC chat is the only way, unless there is every a reddit-wide meetup/convention (which has been discussed).

[–]tunackr/SFV[S] 1 point2 points ago

I can see this happening, especially if we keep it in-browser. How do we coordinate a good time for everyone... poll time?

[–]BlankVerse/r/California 0 points1 point ago

There will need to be some ground rules. There was some recent drama in one of the other moderator reddits when someone leaked some IRC logs.

[–]tunackr/SFV[S] 0 points1 point ago

Definitely. Got a link to the fiasco? :)

[–]BlankVerse/r/California 0 points1 point ago

It was in the private /r/modtalk reddit for mods of large reddits.

[–]greatyellowsharkr/thousandoaks 0 points1 point ago

I agree that IRC is a good idea - have a dedicated channel where we can all drop in at odd times and hope to find somebody there.

[–]mojokabobor/Kearney 1 point2 points ago

Technically, the geographical center of the US is Lebanon, KS... now correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that /r/kearney is the closest subreddit location to that position. /r/salina is close, but about 20 miles further from lebanon than Kearney; therefore, I do believe that if you are going by geocentricity (I just made that up), Kearney Nebraska would be the place to go!!

[–]greatyellowsharkr/thousandoaks 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad you mentioned r/salina: I've added them to my list of reddits to contact.
